Still no dice. From what I can tell, I'm going to have to dig into how the query is being sent to Sphinx and what the actual weighting values are that are being returned. I've spent some time in the Sphinx forums this morning and it sounds like numerous people have gotten this working successfully, though I haven't actually seen any verifiable examples where TS users got this working correctly? They must be out there, or I'm sure you would have heard about this sooner... but I've tried this across multiple different models/indexes with many param sets, and it seems like I'm doing something systematically wrong+hard to debug.
